This is, of course, not an all-inclusive list, but it’s a good start to reclaiming some time back. These were some of my biggest time-wasters:

　　當(dāng)然我沒(méi)法給出一個(gè)囊括所有可能的列表，但這個(gè)列表會(huì)是一個(gè)好開(kāi)始，保證幫你爭(zhēng)取不少時(shí)間。下面這些都是我本人浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的常見(jiàn)行為：

　　1. Television – just stop it. Besides the occasional news, a movie every once in a while, some documentaries, I found it to be a huge time-waster.

　　電視——直接忽略。我發(fā)現(xiàn)，除了偶爾看看新聞、電影和紀(jì)錄片，電視對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)純粹是浪費(fèi)。

　　2. Internet/web – It’s really become the new television, and as such, an equivalent waste of time. Ask yourself this, “Do I really need to see another cat video?”

　　互聯(lián)網(wǎng)/網(wǎng)絡(luò)——這些其實(shí)也都是變相“電視”，純粹浪費(fèi)時(shí)間罷了。何不問(wèn)問(wèn)自己：“我就非得再看一個(gè)喵星人視頻嗎?”

　　3. Email – This was a more difficult one for me since responding to emails made me believe that I was being more productive. However, responding to emails all day was actually making me less productive by taking my focus off things that I really needed to get done. I now limit my time and frequency of responding to emails.

　　郵件——這個(gè)還真難下手。畢竟，我一直認(rèn)為回復(fù)郵件可以提高效率。但事實(shí)卻是，每天回復(fù)郵件反倒轉(zhuǎn)移我的注意力，大大降低了效率�，F(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)限制了自己回復(fù)郵件的時(shí)間和頻率。

　　Seven Ways to Create More Time In Your Day

　　每天創(chuàng)造更多時(shí)間的七大方法

　　1. Get Up Earlier

　　早起

　　Get up fifteen minutes earlier. If you're like most folk, your morning probably feels rushed: you drag yourself out of bed at the last possible minute, grab a hasty shower, maybe get some breakfast if you're lucky, sort out the kids/cat/partner and dash off to work.

　　提前15分鐘起床。你要是像大部分人那樣起床，早上可能會(huì)覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)趕：在最后一刻掙扎著起來(lái)，趕緊沖個(gè)澡，來(lái)得及的話就吃?xún)煽谠绮�，安頓好小孩/貓咪/愛(ài)人后沖出門(mén)上班。

　　Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing space. Perhaps it'll give you time to actually sit down and enjoy your breakfast for once. Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through that book or stack of journals that you keep meaning to get to.

　　稍微早點(diǎn)起床就不至于那么匆忙�；蛟S至少可以真正坐下來(lái)吃頓早餐。你也可以利用每天早起的15分鐘看看書(shū)或者整理一下記事本。
